Meaning
Certification procedure required for all radio transmission equipment sold in the People’s Republic of China to ensure compliance with national frequency regulations. The srrc testing is conducted by laboratories authorized by the State Radio Monitoring Center. It verifies that the device operates only on approved frequencies and within power limits.
Regulatory Approval
Passing this process is a prerequisite for obtaining the network access license needed for mobile devices. During srrc testing, the equipment is checked for its frequency stability and its ability to suppress unwanted emissions. This prevents the device from interfering with the country’s public and military radio networks.
Frequency Verification
Each wireless standard, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, must be tested against the specific Chinese version of the spectrum map. Because these bands can differ from international standards, srrc testing ensures the software limits the radio correctly. If a device can tune to a forbidden frequency, it will be rejected.
Market Entry
A successful result allows the manufacturer to apply the SRRC ID to their product label. Without the mark provided by srrc testing, goods can be seized at the border or removed from store shelves. This certification must be renewed periodically or whenever a major hardware change is made to the radio section.
